I am trying to see if people can share pictures of their storage so I can determine
the best way to go forward with storing around 200k parts.

Thank you very much ! 1000 positive feedbacks was a quite long and hard job
for me but I did my best for that

I like my desk but I still find it too small. I always need to borrow the dining
table to build anything a bit big !

I think multiple shallow drawers work best. Here is a snippet of my setup.
I have around 430 drawers like this for 600,000+ parts.

That looks quite like my storage solution. One tip: glue some cut pieces of baseplate
to the front of the drawer, so you can put example bricks that visually show
what's inside.

A thing you can cut is a "Toy Block Tape" there is no LEGO damaged there.
(Do a google search and you will find it).

There is nothing wrong with cutting old or cracked baseplates, or gluing common
parts that are essentially worthless if it means they get used for a new purpose.
I've cut larger baseplates to make smaller ones in the past. It turns something
that won't get used into something that gets used.

It really depends on why you are storing them. Is it long term storage or storing
to use/build. Do you use lots of different parts, or lots of the same parts.
20K in 100 lots is very different to 20K in 400 lots. Have easy access to parts
you use the most. Are you storing to sell? If so have easy access to fast movers
and less access to slow movers. Two big questions are how much space do you have,
and how much budget for storage.


I use a lot of 1x2 bricks in natural colours. They get sorted by size and colour.
Whereas the same part in bright colours are just filler to me, so they get stored
mixed up. I do similar for 1x1, 1x4 and 1x6 but longer lengths get used less
often so they get mixed up by colour. Parts I rarely use get sorted by general
shape but not specific shape or colour.

Small section of “the wall”. Each bin has the same part (1x2 bricks are in B12
for example and stacked on the brick, plate or tile shelf in order of ascending
dimensions), and colors are separated in bags with the color and part number
written on the bag. That’s particularly helpful with the technic pins/parts
or the Harry Potter trophies that can sometimes look similar.

It's scaleable which is good. I can always pull the label off and move to
a larger or smaller bin if needed.
